STILLNESS

STILLNESS

Be still my soul,

Like still waters

Waiting for God, Reflecting God’s love.

Listen my soul,

With attentive ears listen for His word.

It comes quietly,

Like birds in the night air.

Hush my soul,

No need to speak,

I hear your music.

Do not fear my soul,

I will not turn away,

In your deepest silence I listen carefully to your music.

It is when you are so still…so quiet,

That I hear you most clearly.

Do not despair my soul,

I am learning to trust you,

To sing your song,

And dance your dance.

And though you belong to God,

And to the ages,

And to everyone, everywhere,

You are mine.

And as you reflect God…you reflect me.
